Gigafast 14Mbps HomePlug Powerline Ethernet Bridge

Bridge Your Ethernet Network With Power Lines!
Have places in your home you'd like to network but can't get cabling there, wireless a problem for you? Well, let us introduce to you the lastest generation of HOMEPLUG Networking from GigaFast. This technology allows you to extend or even build your network on your home POWER LINES. No other cables to run, just plug into your PC and plug into the wall throughout the home. This technology was recently acclaimed in the July 2002 PC World magazine as the "Most Promising Newcomer" for networking.

The GigaFast HomePlug Ethernet Bridge operates on the HomePlug Powerline Specification 1.0 standard, providing up to 14Mbps bandwidth over home AC wiring. Since the home power lines are the most pervasive medium in households with multiple outlets in every room, the HomePlug Ethernet Bridge allows multiple home desktops and notebooks to be networked to share Internet connectors, printers, files, and play games without any additional wiring.

The installation of the Ethernet Bridge only requires that a 10/100Mbps Network Adapter is installed on the computer. This makes the HomePlug Ethernet Bridge compatible with any device including Mac, Windows, and Unix machines.

For security, all GigaFast HomePlug devices are equipped with 56-bit DES encryption. The private home power grid plus encryption makes HomePlug significantly more secure than competing technologies.

The GigaFast HomePlug Ethernet Bridge is the best solution for No-New-Wires home networking. With easy Plug and Play installation, no need for new wires, and the reliability of GigaFast Ethernet's product, the GigaFast HomePlug Ethernet Bridge is the best solution for high speed networking.

What is a HomePlug node?
The PE902-EB can operate in two modes : Node and Bridge
As a node (unit used to connect directly to PC), only one computer can be connected to the PE902-EB, and software drivers must be installed on the computer.

As a bridge (unit used to connect different locations on existing ethernet network from a router or switch), a switch or router must be connected to the PE902-EB and the remote computers are connected through those units. This mode does NOT require software driver installation.

A HomePlug network can only allow two PE902-EBs to operate as bridges (connecting two points of the ethernet network) at any given time on the same network. However, there can be any number of PE902-EBs operating as nodes.
